Kuala Lumpur | February 13, 2026 — EKG M&E Sdn Bhd has successfully reached a major milestone in the structural restoration of the HVAC infrastructure at PNB Perdana Court 1. Our specialized mechanical team was deployed to execute a high-precision refurbishment of Cooling Tower No. 4, focusing on leak elimination and long-term structural reinforcement.
Scope of Work: Infill Dismantling, Leak Elimination, and Cold Water Basin Lamination (Refibering)
During our initial technical audit of the cooling systems at PNB Perdana Court 1, Cooling Tower No. 4 showed advanced signs of structural fatigue and hydraulic inefficiency:
Basin Degradation: The cold water basin exhibited surface erosion and minor cracks, leading to active water leakage.
Infill Clogging: Years of mineral accumulation within the infill layers had restricted airflow and reduced the tower's overall thermal rejection capacity.
Structural Risk: Left untreated, the basin leaks posed a risk of structural damage to the mechanical floor and increased water treatment costs due to constant "make-up" water requirements.
To restore the unit to its peak engineering specification, EKG implemented a specialized "strip-and-reinforce" protocol:
Infill Dismantling: Our team systematically removed the aged and fouled infill modules to access the internal structure and ensure a comprehensive cleaning of the distribution system.
Leak Elimination: All structural joints and identified fissures were professionally sealed using industrial-grade bonding agents to ensure a watertight foundation.
Basin Lamination (Refibering): Utilizing high-performance Fiberglass Reinforced Polymer (FRP), technicians applied a multi-layer lamination to the entire cold water basin. This creates a seamless, non-corrosive, and ultra-durable interior shell.
Mechanical Restoration: Post-lamination, the system underwent a full recalibration to ensure uniform water distribution across the newly prepared surfaces.
The refurbishment of Cooling Tower No. 4 provides immediate operational and financial benefits for the management of PNB Perdana Court 1:
Structural Integrity: The FRP lamination provides a chemical-resistant barrier that extends the basin’s service life by an estimated 10 to 15 years.
Water Conservation: By eliminating active leaks, the building will see a significant reduction in water waste and utility expenses.
Thermal Performance: The removal of fouled components and the restoration of a smooth hydraulic basin ensures the tower can once again meet its original design cooling load.
